Anonymous user:“The manor is located in a large park. The manor gardens are beautiful, and the lake is large enough to walk around. On summer weekends, you can see two horses being fed. The open areas within the manor building are quite beautiful.”
leotiger:“It was really worth the trip. I really can't get it. If you really believe in Ctrip, you will realize your dreams and wishes. It happened to rain heavily in London that day when I was traveling, but the atmosphere in Harry Potter was still joyful and was not affected at all. I highly recommend it. The bus back and forth chose King Cross as the gathering point, which was very convenient”
庞贝蒋琬:“The teacher started from the Oxford University Museum and finally went to Chris Church College, bringing us a very detailed history of Britain and the origin of Oxford. The most impressive thing is the story of Bloody Mary: the conflict between the new and old churches, the three archbishops who were burned to death, and the violence and killing caused by an unfortunate childhood.
The teacher prepared very carefully! When narrating, he could also cite modern classics. The children could also fill in and remember these stories based on film and television works, such as the history of the entire Oxford University & the division of labor of the colleges, etc., which can be understood in combination with the plot of Harry Potter~
Three hours of explanation, let us all want more!”
Open tomorrow at 10:00-17:00 (admission ends at 16:45)

小欣:“Westminster Abbey, a truly exquisite example of medieval architectural sculpture, feels like stepping into a profound historical scroll. Known as the "Spire of Honor," it is the burial or memorial site of numerous prominent British and international politicians, scientists, and writers, including Newton, Darwin, and Dickens. Carrying the rich history and cultural heritage of Britain, Westminster Abbey has witnessed the rise and fall of the British royal family and the nation's development, holding a unique and significant position within the Commonwealth.”

Anonymous user:“The meeting point was clearly marked and easy to find. There were a lot of tourists, so we lined up for ticket verification and were divided into groups. Our tour guide was a lovely, chubby Italian woman. She patiently explained the situation and first took us to the Changing of the Guard. Since there were a lot of tourists, she then took us to Buckingham Palace Square, through the park, and explained that there would be another Changing of the Guard there later, along with an equestrian display. We were then led to the entrance of Buckingham Palace, where we had a self-guided tour, with free guidebooks (in Chinese).”
Opening hours: August 21 10:00-17:15 (admission ends at 16:00)
小欣:“Windsor Castle, built by William I in 1070 to consolidate political rule and provide military defense, is the fourth largest castle in the world and the oldest and largest inhabited castle.
Due to its proximity to Heathrow Airport, planes fly over Windsor Palace every minute. Windsor Castle is located approximately seven miles west of the airport, directly on the flight path. It's very convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip and exchange them there.”

Chu:“The hotel is really good. The pool is clean and there is a small playing corner for kids. It is very near to the mall and takes around 5 mins drive.
Will revisit again!”
Guest User:“The room is very big and cozy , Excellent location which is right next to the shopping mall so you can get what you want conveniently and you can do some shopping while I have nothing to do. The gym room it’s so classic and designed with wooden equipment. It’s really amazing stay especially when you can see the sunrise every every morning at 5:30 during the summertime.”
Guest User:“All in all a very reasonable stay, just one negative one was unable to use HDMI cable, as the television was built into the wall.
Apart from that the members of staff were very helpful, and I did enjoy my stay.
Kind regards
Leigh Foster”
Guest User:“We had a fantastic stay, great location for visiting the music festival at Delapre Abbey. The room was spacious and clean, staff friendly and helpful. Lots of parking. The breakfast was an additional charge and not the cheapest but very delicious.”
Ana1023:“The staff that served us were great and helpful. Location wise, the hotel is walking distance to town centre. The down side of the hotel is, there’s no air-conditioner in the room but only an electrical fan.”
